Héroisme et spiritualité dans les romans du Graal et le Shahnameh [livre des Rois] de Ferdowsi / Heroism and spirituality in the Grail romance and in the Shâhnâmeh [Book of Kings] of FerdowsiAbaï, Andia 04 November 2010 (has links)
Ce travail comparatif étudie les ressemblances thématiques, symboliques et narratives entre plusieurs romans du Graal de la fin du XIIe siècle et du 1er quart du XIIIe siècle [le Conte du Graal de Chrétien de Troyes, le Parzival de Wolfram von Eschenbach, la Troisième Continuation du Conte du Graal de Manessier, le Haut Livre du Graal], et l’épopée persane du Livre des rois de Ferdowsi, achevée au début du XIe siècle. On étudie d’abord les ressemblances entre le Graal et le farr ou gloire royale iranienne : tous deux se caractérisent par la luminosité, constituent des sources d’abondance, ont une relation particulière avec les êtres, sont liés à la royauté. On étudie ensuite les destins parallèles du chevalier Perceval et du roi iranien Key Khosrow, en mettant en évidence les ressemblances entre les moments clés de leur existence : leur lignage, leur jeunesse orpheline loin du monde, leurs qualités spirituelles et royales, les épreuves qu’ils traversent, leur consécration, leur relation au sacré [au Graal pour le premier, au farr pour le second]. / This comparative work examines the thematic, symbolic and narrative similarities between several texts of the Grail legend written between the late 12th century and the 1st quarter of the 13th century [the Conte du Graal of Chrétien de Troyes, Parzival of Wolfram von Eschenbach, the Troisième Continuation du Conte du Graal of Manessier, le Haut Livre du Graal], and the Book of Kings of Ferdowsi, a Persian epic completed at the beginning of the 11th century. A first part examines the similarities between the Holy Grail and the farr [the Iranian royal Glory]: both are characterized by light, are sources of abundance, have a special relationship with human beings, are linked to the kingship. A second part examines the destinies of the knight Perceval and of the Iranian King Key Khosrow, highlighting the similarities between the key moments of their lives: their lineage, their orphaned youth away from the world, their spiritual and royal qualities, their ordeals, their consecration, their relationship to the sacred [to the Grail for the former, to the farr for the latter].

Reasons for the insertion of the incomparability of God in Solomon's prayerLoots, Peter Charles Edmund January 2007 (has links)
Magister Theologiae - MTh / In this minithesis, I argue that the prime reason of the Deuteronomistic Historian (Dtr) for inserting the incomparability of God in Solomon's prayer is to convey his (Dtr's) theological interpretation of the history of Israel as history controlled by her sovereign God, Yahweh. Other reasons are also considered. In order to argue the main reason and others, the sociohistorical aspects of the Davidic-Solomonic era are briefly highlighted as well as the Deuteronomistic Historian, his time and theology. A closer look at the Babylonian exile shows the significance of this event in terms of the theological thought of Dtr conveyed in the passage 1 Ki. 8:23-26 and the rest of Solomon's prayer. A brief exploration of the theme "The Incomparability of Yahweh" as seen in the Deuteronomistic History is then undertaken to acquire a full comprehension of the incomparability formula within the Deuteronomistic writings. This also helps to place the formula within its immediate context, i.e. the passage and the prayer itself, and within its broader context, viz., the Deuteronomistic writings An exegesis of 1 Ki. 8:23-26 is undertaken giving further rise to lexical data leading to major themes. This critical exegesis, the lexical data and major themes lead to the postulation of the assumed reasons for the insertion of the incomparability formula by Dtr. Arguments for each reason are then put forth culminating in my argument that Dtr wants to conveys his theological interpretation of the history of Israel as history controlled by her sovereign God, Yahweh. The minithesis is concluded with an overview, reflections and theological perspectives of Dtr gleaned especially from the postulated reasons. Finally, this research shows the actuality of Dtr's theological thoughts for his time as well as for today's readers, especially in terms of the sovereignty of God, his hesed for his people and the motif of conditionality expressed in the Deuteronomistic theology permeating Solomon's prayer.

The Medieval Reception of Firdausī's Shāhnāma: The Ardashīr Cycle as a Mirror for PrincesAskari, Nasrin 02 August 2013 (has links)
Based on a broad survey of the reception of Firdausī’s Shāhnāma in medieval times, this dissertation argues that Firdausī’s oeuvre was primarily perceived as a book of wisdom and advice for kings and courtly élites. The medieval reception of the Shāhnāma is clearly manifested in the comments of medieval authors about Firdausī and his work, and in their use of the Shāhnāma in the composition of their own works. The production of ikhtiyārāt-i Shāhnāmas (selections from the Shāhnāma) in medieval times and the remarkable attention of the authors of mirrors for princes to Firdausī’s opus are particularly illuminating in this regard.
The survey is complemented by a close textual reading of the Ardashīr cycle in the Shāhnāma in comparison with other medieval historical accounts about Ardashīr, in order to illustrate how history in the Shāhnāma is reduced to only a framework for the presentation of ideas and ideals of kingship. Based on ancient Persian beliefs regarding the ideal state of the world, I argue that Ardashīr in the Shāhnāma is represented as a Saviour of the world. Within this context, I offer new interpretations of the symbolic tale of Ardashīr’s fight against a giant worm, and explain why the idea of the union of kingship and religion, a major topic in almost all medieval Persian mirrors for princes, has often been attributed to Ardashīr. Finally, I compare the Ardashīr cycle in the Shāhnāma with nine medieval Persian mirrors for princes to demonstrate that the ethico-political concepts contained in them, as well as the portrayal of Ardashīr, remain more or less the same in all these works.
Study of the Shāhnāma as a mirror for princes, as this study shows, not only reveals the meaning of its symbolic tales, but also sheds light on the pre-Islamic roots of some of the ethico-political concepts presented in the medieval Perso-Islamic literature of wisdom and advice for kings and courtiers.
